I got up at 5:00 am when my alarm went off and got right to getting ready for the day. Next I woke up dad around 5:30am. From there, the rest of the troops started waking up. I’m a bit of a task master when it comes to traveling and wanted to get a good … Continue reading “Family Vacation Day 2 – 6/3/2011”

I won’t post any photos for those of you that are squeamish, but Corvin had another accident. He was playing around and fell back, splitting open his head. This required a late night visit to the ER for 4 staples to close up the wound. Luckily, he didn’t start getting staples until he was well … Continue reading “6.16 ER Visit for Corvin”

In an effort to … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 4”
I wanted to add a couple items. The planning section for where Hogan and I went to was a little bit of a battle. Hogan didn’t want to be land locked to a state and I knew Arkansas had some great roads. The quest was to have a happy medium between adventure and just logging miles to log … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 1 – Hiatt’s Counterpoint”
Notes from my motorcycle trip with Hiatt. I made a logo, but never got shirts made. Technically I should have included Kansas as he lives there, but its still funny for us! Its Thursday, May 5th and my bags are packed. I kissed the wife and kids goodbye and took off for work. This was … Continue reading “Arkansas Motorcycle Trip Part 1”
